Computer hard to start

[Brad Rose]

Upgraded my graphics card in a not so amazing computer awhile ago, now everytime I restart my computer its like I need to prime it like a lawn mower or weed whacker for it to turn on, gonna post a video on whats happening hopefully someone can figure out whats going on here.

Specs are
Motherboard: Gigabyte H55M-S2V
Processor: Intel Core i3 550 3.2GHz
Graphics Card: Geforce GTX 660 Superclocked
Power Supply: Corsair CX750
4GB Ram
Windows 7 64bit

any help would be greatly appreciated

It's hard to see what's happening in your video, but I assume that it's not booting, or rebooting by itself? Anyway, I suspect your problem is related to the motherboard, because I've had the same problem on older systems. Last week I installed a GTX 550 Ti in a socket 775 system, and it blew the motherboard (2 caps look blown), now only gives 3 beeps (memory code). Lower-end motherboards I think can't handle the power draw of a modern mid to high end card, they were designed for budget builds. Had a similar problem with a cheap MSI board, the GPU was overheating the north bridge and freezing the system. Try the card on a newer system to make sure it's good. It may be time for a major upgrade...
